This DIYer created an autonomous, robotic tank, attached a airsoft M4 carbine gun to it, and then added color tracking to the already lethal mix. It can automatically track and shoot targets based upon the color of objects. The tank uses treads...

Some software developers don't get into hardware because they enjoy the instant gratification of seeing their work displayed on screen. They don't want to fuss with soldering or hooking up components. Now, however, they can't complain since...

Learn how to use infrared LEDs to send signals to your TV and other electronic devices via an Arduino. First, the Arduino will interpret IR pulses sent out by the TV remote, save them to memory, then "replay" them upon the user's command. ...

This is definitely one of the best helicopter hobby projects you are going to come across. This tri-copter is not only extremely versatile, but the project how-to is laid out in great detail as well. It's an open source tri-copter that is now in...

Sometimes, your inventions don't have to have a practical function. Take for example, this epic looking decorative lamp. Dubbed 'Coachella', this eye-catching device was named for an annual music and arts festival. Although it has a steampunk...

We have featured a few DIY low cost milling machines before and here's another superb one to add to our collection. With DIY CNC milling machine projects, the trade off is between cost of fabrication and the precision with which it operates. So,...

The students of Cornell have posted their year end microcontroller projects for us to admire. Some projects involve creating commercially available products, but a few definitely stood out from the crowd. With a budget of $75, the students...

We've covered loads of airsoft, nerf, and gun projects, and here's another superb pr0ject to add to our collection. It's a coil gun placed on a turret which is triggered via Wi-Fi. Additionally, it uses remote targeting and shooting through...

We've seen some neat internet-based remote control projects including the Ethernet Enabled Christmas Bells project. Here's another neat project to add to our collection. The Orbduino is a robotic arm which can can be controlled entirely...

Here's another neat Arduino helicopter project featuring four infrared sensors and one ultrasonic sensor for obstacle avoidance. We've seen an Arduino powered helicopter with four rotors and even one with six rotors too. This quadcopter,...
